And we've got some great news in the forecast for you. If you're a fan of sunshine and mild weather, we're back into the upper forties and low fifties for the next couple of days. But today is the last day with ample sunshine. We're watching showers for your Friday evening commute. It's not an all day wash, but certainly in the evening we'll have light showers and then the weekend, it just kind of gloomy with a chance for some rain returning Saturday evening and then again Sunday, but we're gonna time it out in a sec first. Let's look at the rest of today. We're around 50 across the island. So the thirties, yeah, a big improvement compared to yesterday. Tonight, we do drop into the thirties. You'll need the winter jacket for Friday morning plans. We're expecting plenty of sun for the start of the day, but clouds start to push in during the afternoon on Friday. And that's the last you see of wide red sunshine until next week looks good though, as far as temperatures you're in the fifties. So the future cast on Friday, you see, not a lot of cloud cover in the morning. It looks good for recess for the kids. It looks good for the bus ride home too. Three o'clock is still mainly dry. There could be a few spots at sea sprinkles in Nassau County at three, but it's not really likely until the evening commute for five o'clock. We've got some showers rolling through the island with temperatures near 50 degrees. Ok. Temperature is good but the rain not so much. If you have late plans on Friday, the rain will clear out for you. And Saturday looks mainly dry. We're not bad on Saturday, but Sunday, I can't promise that it's dry all day. We do have some stray showers in the afternoon and evening there cooler for next week. Feeling like December, which is just about right.

starting next school year. Hofstra and stony brook will have something else in common. The same sports league. Sports Director kevin Maher has the details stony brook and Hofstra have always had a friendly rivalry for years. It is really important for stony brook and Hofstra to play each other. But that rivalry got a lot more serious today. Show me a rivalry that doesn't take pride in beating somebody in their region and soon the Seawolves and pride will beat up on each other a lot more often and for bigger stakes. After 21 years of playing in different leagues, stony brook is joining Hofstra in the Colonial Athletic Association. It was a little bit of a perfect storm that that came together at the perfect time. The move puts the Seawolves into a bigger league with deeper pockets and more national prestige especially in basketball when we're recruiting kids. It's going to help us. We're going to get in with kids that you know Hofstra to be honest when we've recruited the same kid they've recruited we have 11 of those battles we have not won a ton of them and now they're battles will mean even more because the Seawolves and pride will be fighting for league championships and automatic spots in the N. C. Double A. Tournament. Hopefully the game at some point would be for for all the marbles. I mean I think that would be that would be awesome when you have rivalries within the same conference. You know you look at the pro sports in the area, Islanders rangers. Those games are always got a little bit more hot, so you know, to to have a natural rival that's down the road. I think that it's gonna grow itself. And today the seeds were planted for that bigger rivalry. Stony brook is invading Hofstra's turf and his Hofstra's athletic director said, let the fun begin. And I think that stony brook is a great place, which is why we take such pride in being the pride of Long Island and beating such a great institution.

But Hofstra's athletic director says there are no plans to bring back football at his school, Kevin Maher News 12.
